Unacceptable Rypstra
223 (4) (WS) Relocation
At the end of December, after a snow and cold snap, ~200 Dunlins descended on Tsehum Harbour. Never before have I seen so many Dunlins here, and certainly not at this time of year with snow on the ground.
As the tide is high and feeding is impossible, the flock choose a few exposed outcroppings offshore from Resthaven Island to catch a snooze...
One Dunlin decided to relocate and in the process, woke it's neighbours and even stood on the back of one. Perhaps it was tired of cold feet!
If you look carefully, there is one Killdeer in the bunch, finding security in a larger flock.
